how to manage nprobe listening to 20+ sflow agents #539

I have four spine switches running sFlow agents to send data to a nprobe process listening to 6343 on the server where I'm running ntopng. Now I am going to run sFlow agents on all leaf switches. Can I have another nprobe process listening to 6343 on the same server? If I have more than 20 switches running sFlow agents, is there a scalable way to add them all?

@612wong you can run multiple nprobe processes on the same box (see https://www.ntop.org/guides/nprobe/how_to_start.html) and run them on different ports (configuring your agents accordingly)
